      sched: x86, track TSC-unstable events · bb29ab26
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      track TSC-unstable events and propagate it to the scheduler code.
      Also allow sched_clock() to be used when the TSC is unstable,
      the rq_clock() wrapper creates a reliable clock out of it.

      sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code · 0437e109
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
      code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
      this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
      the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
      tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
      
      this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
      doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
      delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
      balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
      
      (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
      
      under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
      any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
      tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
      tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

      MTRR: Fix race causing set_mtrr to go into infinite loop · d25c1ba2
      Loic Prylli 提交于
      Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set
      after .count field is properly initialized.  Without an explicit barrier,
      the compiler was reordering those memory stores.  That was sometimes
      causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement
      .count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a
      infinite loop with irqs disabled).

      i386: fix regression, endless loop in ptrace singlestep over an int80 · 1e2e99f0
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      The commit 635cf99a introduced a
      regression.  Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80
      accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC.
      
      The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall
      and not before it.
      
      I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out
      to the console.  At that point you can issue as many single steps as you want
      and it will not advance any further.
      
      The test case is below:
      
      /* Test whether singlestep through an int80 syscall works.
       */
      #define _GNU_SOURCE
      #include <stdio.h>

      	kill(getpid(), SIGUSR1);
      	write(fileno(stdout),str,strlen(str));
      	asm ("int $0x80" : : "a" (20)); /* getpid */
      }

      {
      	unsigned long eip, expected = 0;

      i386: remove bogus mtrr range check · 4710bcce
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit 9215da33 "fixed" the MTRR range
      check to not allow any MTRR's under the 1MB mark (since that's where the
      fixed MTRR's are active).
      
      However, that was totally bogus, since it's normal (and almost required)
      to have a large variable MTRR that starts at 0, and covers some large
      percentage of the whole RAM, and then using the fixed MTRR's to override
      that large MTRR to handle the special ISA hole in the 640k-1M region.
      
      The old check was bogus too (checking that no variable MTRR is used that
      is entirely under the 1MB range), but at least it wasn't actively
      detrimental, because no sane situation would ever trigger such MTRR
      usage in the first place.
      
      That said, the whole notion of not allowing variable MTRR's in the low
      1MB is just stupid, so rather than revert the commit, this just removes
      the whole sad and unnecessary check entirely.

      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
      function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
      mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
      
      This patch
      a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
      b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
      c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
      d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
      e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
         getting them indirectly
      
      Net result is:
      a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
         they don't need sched.h
      b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
         on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
         after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up

      [CPUFREQ] powernow-k7: fix MHz rounding issue with perflib · dc2585eb
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      When the PST tables are broken, powernow-k7 uses ACPI's processor_perflib to
      deduce the available frequency multipliers from the _PSS tables.
      
      Upon frequency change, processor_perflib performs some verification on the
      frequency (checks that it's within allowable bounds).
      
      powernow-k7 deals with absolute frequencies in KHz, whereas perflib only
      deals with MHz values. When performing the above verification, perflib
      multiplies the MHz values by 1000 to obtain the KHz value.
      
      We then end up with situations like the following:
       - powernow-k7 multiplies the multiplier by the FSB, and obtains a value
         such as 1266768 KHz
       - perflib belives the same state has frequency of 1266 MHz
       - acpi_processor_ppc_notifier calls cpufreq_verify_within_limits to verify
         that 1266768 is in the allowable range of 0 to 1266000 (i.e. 1266 * 1000)
       - it's not, so that frequency is rejected
       - the maximum CPU frequency is not reachable
      
      This patch solves the problem by rounding up the MHz values stored in perflib's
      tables. Additionally it corrects a broken URL.
      
      It also fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8255 although this
      case is a bit different: the frequencies in the _PSS tables are wildly wrong,
      but we get better results if we force ACPI to respect the fsb * multiplier
      calculations (even though it seems that the multiplier values aren't entirely
      correct either).
